Dog licking? When did that happen? I must have missed that.
Am I the only guy who appreciated this???

That was my mistake--I responded strictly to your comment without realizing it was part of an ongoing discussion. My apologies.The person I was responding to claimed TNG abandoned exploration for politics they find distasteful. That was the argument put the rest by showing there was plenty of exploration in TNG...
No, I wouldn't. But, again, I was commenting strictly on the amount of exploration performed in each series....Personally, I like a lot of the known alien-species episodes in Trek. Klingon's in TNG or Ferengi in DS9 for example. And a lot of those non-exploration episodes you get things like "Chain Of Command" or "In The Pale Moonlight". Would you argue Trek is lesser for those non-exploration stories? That they somehow take away from raw exploration of space?

I've mentioned this somewhere here before, but I watched TNG because it was "new Trek" even though I didn't really care for it. With the possible exception of Patrick Stewart, it always felt like a bunch of adults cosplaying with a budget and a camera crew. TOS is certainly "dated" and had it's share of not-so-good episodes, but it somehow felt more real to me than anything from the TNG era. I understand why people like TNG, DS9, and Voyager, I'm just not one of them.
I noticed it right away, but it wasn't as funny once the Helmsmen pointed it out. It's the kind of joke that shouldn't be explained. Either you got it or you didn't.Am I the only guy who appreciated this???
It's interesting to me that Lost in Space is included on their list--it was goofy, campy, and often silly, but I've never thought of it as a comedy. It was supposed to be a dramatic "family adventure" series, and it certainly started out that way, but once Jonathan Harris started hamming it up there was no turning back.It isn't a long list of Sci Fi sitcoms........

I did enjoy recently "Other Space" but it did not last.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I can't stand them, but they definitely don't have the same appeal as the Original Series for me; I just don't care for the TNG/DS9/Voyager era. That being said, I'm in the small minority of fans that actually likes Enterprise, so take my opinions for what they're worth....I can't stand any of the new series. I've tried every single one and none have ever appealed to me. It was funny, I had a party for a bunch of sci-fi fans for the Voyager premiere. We had it running and about half way through, nobody was watching it anymore. Nobody. I have walked away with less than half a season for every single one of them. I might come back and watch an episode or two now and then, but none have ever appealed to me over the long run. Not one...
I'm on the fence about Discovery. On the one side, I'm curious about what they've done with it. On the other side, I'm not paying for CBS All Abscess so I don't see the point in watching the pilot episode for a series I'll probably never watch....I don't expect Discovery to be any different.
Had high hopes... but, I found it to be painfully bad.
It was, but I can't talk politics here without getting the thread shut down, so I just dropped out.
Which is exactly what I was talking about. The amount of exploration over the episodes is far, far less in TNG (and let's not even talk about DS9, to boldly sit here and do nothing).

I wish this would come on some other time than after football. Hard to set a DVR for that, always have to record about at least another hour of stuff just to get it.
Last week it was on after football, but this week it's just part of their "regular" schedule so you shouldn't have that problem.I wish this would come on some other time than after football. Hard to set a DVR for that, always have to record about at least another hour of stuff just to get it.
Yep. Second episode airing on Sunday night, third and subsequent episodes airing on Thursday nights (until they move it again, that is) starting this week.From what I've read this week will be the last time it is on Sunday. It is supposed to switch to Thursdays...
